In this paper, we compute the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence coefficients for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a logarithmic weight w(x)dx = log(2k/(1 - x))dx on (-1,1), with k > 1, and verify a conjecture of A. Magnus for these coefficients. We use Riemann-Hilbert/steepest-descent m...
